Nice work Jeff :D

The 850i looks hotter and better than the other two cars in the truck, and to think its 10 years older than any of them!

Also is that a CTS in the truck? Are they rear wheel drive now or something?

According to Fetch in the IRC channel, it's a Cadillac Escapade.

thats a Cadillac Excallade, thets going to a basketball player in texas, sticker said 46,000k or so. I told the truck driver (very cool dude) the bmw cost 83k in 92 and he just about freaked, he said he hauls hundreds of these a year and never had a clue. no clue about the bmw that is.

while he reloaded the cars and **** the hydraulic hose for the top layer burst and he had a hard time. We tried to lift the ramps and finally crowbared the **** so the rear would close. He said he would stay the night if he had a case of beer, I offered and he declined... Wanted to get to hos family in wisconson.

Wow, what a great looking 8er. I love it in Calypso too. And on top of it all, you got a killer deal!

I think I want one of these by the end of next summer :)

Yeah, why did you waste time on the escalator and that electric shaver on wheels?
What's the verdict on the 850? Lots of fingers crossed around here I'll bet.
I love the way the starters on these sound as they "spool up", almost worth the price of admission.

Nice Jeff, sure would like to hear about the driving impressions. From the photographs, it looks nice and straight. You got a sweet deal dude. Have you looked into 6 speed conversions yet? Get the camera fixed and show us the rest of the car!

I'll try to score some pictures today, a lot of stuff going on here lately and time isn't too plentiful. Car doesn't have coverage yet so only a short run will be made.

EEk! Knocks and rattles all around, sounds like a balljoint rattle in the right front area too. Think it's going to hang out in the barn over the winter, need to make room. Fix the barn heater and I'll have a little work to do. At least the body looks real decent. The car got mud on the fenders yesterday from all the rain so these pics arent the best.

Why, oh why didn't I take the blue pill?

With a car like that you don't need no blue pill..

Sweet, very sweet ride Jeff. :D

Did you have a pre-purchase inspection done on the car ? Might be worth $90 to have the car gone over by Nikolas.

I would like to have it inspected before real winter kicks in so i have a clue what I need to make it good as new. I didnt really want to plate it and stuff for 1 ride though, thats a long ride for me and no help at the shop really sucks.

Buy a 14 day tag for $10 and drop it off at the shop after hours. If you need a ride - can probably help ya out.

Awsome Jeff, looks real clean. You're gonna love it for sure. Very rare these days. I've been here at the dealership for over a year and a half, and none have come through sales, and only a handfull have I even seen in service.
